What makes a car beautiful?

Sometimes it's undeniable--a lissome look, a crushworthy stance, a peerless cabin. In other cases, it's a purity of form that's as close to ideal as possible, given the chosen duty.

We define it both ways at The Car Connection. As we review more than 250 new vehicles every year, we rate them all across six categories, including styling. Among those new and continuing models, we give only a handful a perfect score of 10 for styling.

This year, the list cars that earn those perfect scores covers some of the most exquisite machinery on the road from Aston Martin, Audi, Maserati, MINI, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Porsche and SRT (nee Dodge). Beautiful? Each one earns the tag, even if some shapes aren't as hormonal or as naturally elegant as other body styles.

According to The Car Connection's editors, these are most beautiful vehicles of 2013:

Sinewy and gorgeous, the Jaguar XK hardly looks like it's been on the road seven years already. It's one stunning curve after another, with barely an extraneous line to be found, and still, full of emotion.

The Maserati GranTurismo isn't just good-looking--it's bewitching. Yes, it's full of stereotypical curves and lissome lines, and they're perfectly balanced and voluptuous. It's a standout piece of styling that's as exciting as it is enduring.

There are few, if any, other new cars that do modern-classic styling quite like the MINI Cooper, and the entire family of retro-styled small cars it's spawned. It has just the right mix of modern and retro.

The Viper's reborn, recast shape is part new, part evolution. The former Dodge Viper's sheetmetal is now SRT smooth and curvaceous, not creased, though it stands by the very low snout and upkicked tail of the original--as well as some of the same distinctive bulbous look.
